Chapter 154 - 154. Take Care Of Miss Byanca's Feelings

"What do you want to eat?" he asked.

"Anything," said Anna.

"Okay."

Anna just nodded, then leaned her body on the sofa while turning on the tv. She no longer protested with Devan who didn't want to get off her thigh.

With their position like that, also Devan who keeps doing things that make her heartbeat abnormally, watching tv is Anna's only escape at this time.

Until half an hour had passed, the doorbell rang again, along with the sound of the button being pressed. It was Hendra, in one of his hands was the box of food she had received in front of the gate.

Yes, Devan chose to order food for their dinner, because the food he made earlier fell to the floor, while the others were scorched because they were too busy with Anna in the dining room.

"Sir, the food you ordered has arrived," said Hendra when he was next to Devan.

"Erm, do as usual," replied Devan without looking at the middle-aged man, still busy on his cell phone. While Anna was already feeling uncomfortable, she didn't want the middle-aged to think anything bad about her, even though she was sure that it might have happened.

"Okay," replied Hendra then walked to the kitchen. As usual, when Devan orders food, his job is to arrange the food on the table before calling the man. Yes, he did that when Lija wasn't around. You could say, Hendra's duties at home were mostly the same as what the Maid did.

Anna who saw Mr. Hendra heading into the kitchen frowned.

"Devan," Anna called, lowering her gaze.

"Emm," the man replied, taking his eyes off his phone and looking at Anna's face that was above his head.

When their eyes met, Anna gasped, suddenly forgetting what she was going to say, "No, forget it," said Anna immediately shifting her gaze to another direction.

"Why? You want something?" asked Devan in a very soft tone of voice.

"Or do you want to do something?"

"Tell me," said the man again.

Anna shook her head. "No need."

Hearing the woman's response, Devan froze in his position, staring at Anna without blinking. Meanwhile, Anna's focus returned to the TV screen that was broadcasting a Japanese channel. There was no movement, she knew that he was currently staring at her, and because of that, it seemed like Anna was having a hard time even taking a breath.

"Done, sir," Hendra's voice suddenly sounded and managed to distract the two people's focus.

"Erm you can go back," Devan replied then rose from his position.

"Okay, sir. Then I'll excuse myself," said Hendra, bowing slightly, saying goodbye.

Devan turned to Anna, "Let's eat," he said.

Anna just nodded then stood up following the man.

"Ahh, Devan, put me down," Anna was surprised when Devan suddenly carried her with bridal style, walking to the dining table.

The man did not respond and did not pay attention to all of Anna's words.

"Eat a lot," said Devan after lowering the petite body in a chair and then sitting next to her.

"Stop treating me like that, you keep surprising me," Anna protested.

Devan kissed her, making the woman instantly silenced.

"Stop talking and eat," Devan said as he took some of the food on the table to Anna's plate.

"Or I'll feed you," he continued.

Anna didn't respond anymore, she immediately ate the food in front of her in silence. Enough to kiss and hold her, don't let the man feed her again.

It seems that being under the same roof with Devan is something that is not good for the performance of her heart.

"Devan," Anna called, pausing her activities for a moment.

"Hmm?"

"I want to go out looking for a sim card."

Devan suddenly stopped moving his hands and turned to the woman. "I'll ask Hendra to do it, you don't have to go anywhere," he replied.

"B-but..."

"You want to go?"

Anna is silent. 'Obviously, I want to go, my son and Naila are waiting for me,' she thought.

"Where are you going? Let me take you tomorrow," said Devan again when he didn't get any response from Anna.

"NO! DON'T DO IT," Anna suddenly refused in a high voice. He didn't want Devan to meet Dave. Just tonight, she made a mistake with someone else's fiancé, she didn't want to damage or hurt Miss Byanca's feelings just because of her selfishness. Anna didn't want to make any further mistakes.

Devan's brow furrowed, one eyebrow raised in surprise at Anna's very unusual response.

"I-I mean, I can go alone. You don't have to bother," said Anna, trying to normalize her voice.

"Are you uncomfortable with me?" asked Devan as he raised one of his hands, then propped his chin with his face facing Anna.

"No, it's not like that, erm I mean yes."

"What exactly are you trying to say?" asked Devan when he heard Anna's very unclear response.

"Don't do more than this Devan, I don't want Miss Byanca to know. I… I don't want to hurt her feelings," said Anna.

Hearing that, Devan's hands clenched into fists, he then slammed the spoon in front of him, "I told you to stop talking about that woman," Devan said in a high voice, pushed the chair so it hit the table very hard, then turned to walk up the stairs, into the workroom after slamming the door. Anna gasped, the first time she saw this side of Devan.

"What did I do wrong? I'm just telling the truth, why is he so angry?" Anna muttered who also stopped her activities, her appetite suddenly disappeared. Then she cleared the table.

After that, she decided to stay silent on the sofa in the living room. Anna did not return to the room, because it was Devan's. What happens if she sleeps in someone else's bed? She can't share the same bed with someone else's fiancé.

Until several hours passed, sleepiness began to greet her. Anna slowly lay down on the sofa and slept there. Only the sound coming from the tv became her friend as well as her lullaby at this time.

Until it was already half-past eleven, the air temperature at night began to drop, very cold to the bones, maybe because it was the rainy season? Anna shivered in her sleep. The woman was seen curled up on the sofa.

"Hhhh ​​why are you sleeping here?" Devan, who wanted to take a drink in the kitchen because he was thirsty, immediately turned around when he saw Anna sleeping on the sofa. He thought she would go back to his room but she didn't.

With slow movements, the man lifted Anna's tiny body, carried her bridal style up the stairs to the room. Then lay her on the bed very carefully, don't forget Devan pulled the blanket up to cover the woman's chest.

Gazing at Anna's peaceful face briefly, Devan kissed her forehead, stayed there for a few minutes then down her nose, then her cheek, lastly on her lips.

"Goodnight dear."
